It's official. The rich and famous really are different from you and me. They fly on private jets. They send their kids to preschools that cost more than Harvard. And when they have a baby, they will call the lucky offspring something that sounds more like a Kentucky Derby winner than an actual human baby name.

I think I've cracked the code on how the stars come up with these colorful monikers. It's fairly easy...you too can create your own Crazy Celebrity Baby Name. Just pick a favorite color and then attach it to a fruit, vegetable, inanimate object, or geographical location. Using this handy formula, I have created the name Magenta Featherduster. I wish I had a celebrity baby so I could use it.

Help us pick the best baby names from the illustrious list below. Pick as many as you like!

How about Tara Gabriel Galaxy Gramophone - the son of Sir John and Talitha Getty? First it sounds like a girl, second "Galaxy Gramophone"??

Jane, do you remember a Seinfeld episode where I believe George talks about naming his first child "Seven"? That would have to be another strange name too.

I really like this poll, it was a fun one. :)

Big hugs,

Yes, that one was a classic! Numbers are very popular for celebrity baby names...right up there with plants, colors and fruits!

Jane Collins My mother's name is Olga, and I named my oldest daughter after her. However, I initially wanted to name my daughter "Olga Tallulah," after Tallulah Bankhead, but my mother talked me out of it. My mother did not like the name. I did, and I have been bugged over the years for letting her talk me out of it. LOL!

Whoa! Jane! This list is incredible. Somehow, noticing them one at a time as they come through the news, it's not overwhelming. But, when I read that list, I started getting woozy. Too much to think about. Guess I need to exercise my brain more...Thanks for a clever, fun post. Now I have to go click on my favs....Fondly, Robin
